An Emery Hawkins Take

There's so many awesome drawings in this take from "Woody Dines Out" that I just had to post them. I don't think many people would argue that Hawkins draws the best looking Woody Woodpecker. Pat Matthews gets my vote for making Woody the most fun to watch but Hawkins' drawings are so perfect and solid.

That's a tough one. I don't know if I can name one definitive favorite, so here's my favorites. Bobe Cannon, Irv Spence, Michael Lah, Jim Tyer, Hawkins, Rod Scriber, Art Davis, Ken Harris, Manny Gould, Marty Taras and Pat Matthews. I will say that Matthews is on top of the list, for now. I think all of those animators really stand out in most every cartoon they work on.

I don't watch enough Disney shorts to really pick up on who exactly did what other than Fred Moore and sometimes Sibley. I should sit down and watch some with Hans Perk's drafts, maybe that'll help me pick up on some of the animators. I'm not exactly sure why but I like most of the Pluto shorts I've seen.

I like Johhny Gent too, I don't have many of the Famous Popeyes so I don't get too enjoy him as much as I'd like too.
